If you need an inexpensive, unpretentious phone to give to
your teen or even kiddo, without worrying about the
consequences, Sony has got you covered with the new
Xperia E4g . It is pretty low as specs go, sporting a qHD
screen (certainly not to be confused with QHD), a MediaTek
chipset, and a basic 5 MP camera, but offers seemingly
sturdy design, 4G connectivity, and has the Sony logo
slapped on its back. Will the price and branding be enough
to offset the circa 2012 specs sheet? Let's find out....

Thickish, but comfy to operate, the Xperia E4g feels very
sturdy in the hand
The chubby, soapy-shaped Xperia won't be winning any
design contests this season, but it feels solid and sturdy in
the hand. It is quite thick and light, which, coupled with the
soft-touch plastic on the back, makes it easy to grab and
hold, though the 10.8mm chassis girth might be a turnoff.
The back panel, which encompasses the sides of the phone,
is removable, but the battery is, sadly, non-replaceable. The
power/lock key, and the volume rocker on the right, offer
deep tactile feedback, but the power key feels a bit wobbly
under your thumb when you play around with it, as it's
actually a part of the removable rear casing.
